Abstract

The purpose of this study is to know the experienced of Alternative Learning System(ALS) teachers in teaching computer literacy to out of school youth and adult learners. It examines the challenges of making this happen and the changes required in order to enable effective learning to take place, with a particular emphasis on the strategies employed to motivate and engage these learners. Using a phenomenological approach, three main themes were highlighted: (1) The Need of Empowering and motivating Adult learners in Technology, which examines the measures taken to generate interest and support learning on digital literacy; (2) Grit but rewarding which focus not only on the barriers of limited resources and different types of learning, but also, on the creativity measures perform by ALS teachers; and (3) The Need of Contextualize Learning Resources and Support, which states the importance of relevant, localized learning materials that adheres to the local conditions of adult learners. This research provides the basis for designing tailored reference materials to overcome the digital divide of adult learners in ALS in China, which aims to enhance technology skills for lifelong learning. (4) Growth and Learning examines the bridging of the technology gap across the experiences of ALS teachers and adult learners. Through it, they illustrate their shared path of breaking down barriers, playing one another in the game of challenges, and celebrating significant achievements in digital literacy.
